![]() Significantly faster recovery from compression setting (Rebound) Significantly less compression setting (Durability) Key benefits of Energy Surge (Infuse™) include: INFUSE™ is an Olefin Block Copolymer (OBC) that can be used as a standalone OBC or mixed with other foams (like EVA) to fine tune the feel and performance. The actual product is produced by DOW® and their name for this material is INFUSE™. “As for the midsole foam, it’s a new technology called Energy Surge, which is the Salomon brand name. The Energy Surge foam story from Salomon: It is an Infuse foam from Dow with less EVA and more Olefin that the Optivibe Infuse midsole in the current Sense Pro/4, Sense Ride 3, and the three Sonic 3 road models and without the Optivibe vibration reduction insert of those models. Most notably Salomon tells us its "durometer" or firmness will be at around 45 or 10 points less on the scale than the earlier Optivibe midsoles which were quite dense in feel. It has TPU coated yarn upper designed for maximum breathability.īoth racers feature a new Energy Surge midsole. We wonder if the midsole stack is actually higher in the Phantasm given the low profile (in comparison to Pulsar) outsole. It is called out as having a "reverse camber" for a rocker effect which the Pulsar also more clearly seems to show. The Phantasm checks in with a 20/14 stack for its 7 oz /199 g weight. The upper is a somewhat stretchy Matryx upper. Salomon told us Kilian wanted more cushion in his race shoe and yet lighter weight and the S/Lab team delivered The inclusion of a ProFeel rock plate is not called out but we will get confirmation one way or the other. Likely we will soon find out! Kilian likes light!īoth racers have a 6mm drop with the Pulsar having a 23mm /17mm stack (note the S/Lab Sense 8 has a 20 mm heel / 16mm forefoot lower stack and drop, yet Sense 8 weighs 195g while the Pulsar weighs 170g so we get not only more stack and drop but considerably lower weight in the new speedster. What is the GOAT of trail and mountain up to on road? He clearly is cooking something up as most notably he has put down incredible flat terrain workouts recently. More recently Kilian has also been spotted on social media running and testing the Phantasm, a road racing flat. So, a course requiring a fast and light all around shoe as the Pulsar for sure appears to be!. It's a course I have raced several times that features a massive steep almost 6,000 foot climb out of the gate, long stretches of smoother fast flatter terrain with rockier sections and then an elevator shaft down last 5K. Sharp followers of social media will recognize an early but confirmed but very close to the releasing Pulsar as the shoe Killan Jornet wore to victory and a stunning record around at 7:32 min mile pace / 4:41min km pace at the iconic Sierre Zinal 31K trail race in Switzerland.
